What happens if you use a skimmer that's too large for the system? Will it stop skimming or just skim too much? Or hard to dial in properly? Thinking about upgrading but quite confused about the hundreds of skimmers out there. For Example: RO Elite 200INT: - 400 Gallon – Light Filtration...

Herbie is great and very easy to setup. use one of the overflow for that. one return is enough for this size tank and the plumbing is less complicated. you can use the remaining hole as another emergency drain. avoid putting the sump under the tank if you can. much easier to work with outside of...

Thanks Tom and Kristin for a great meeting. Very nice meeting everyone again. Tom's tank is so clean and coming along very nicely.

Don't control the PH. It's a result of many factors including the co2 concentration in the atmosphere. I use it purely as a reference. If it changes too much I try to identify the cause.

Seems the germicidal version has one less ingredient than the regular one. so I am going to use it. I guess only reefers check ingredients of bleach :)

Went to HD didn't find the regular bleach so I bought this: https://www.clorox.com/products/clorox-germicidal-bleach-concentrated/ Is this safe for Reefing use? The ingredients seems to be ok.

I though Marco requires no curing. Only used a few smaller pieces.

I have overflow envy now. The water level (above the bottom of the teeth) is determined by the amount of flow. In mine the water level covers 1/3 of the teeth. I only run about 400gph and I have a long weir. I think the water level should not be over 1/2 of the height of the teeth otherwise you...

I have one of these thermistor that came with a multimeter. In general I adjust heater size seasonally so as not to cook the inhabitant. In summer I'll put a 100 watt heater in my 180 total volumn system and in winter it will be an additional 300w. And I can monitor thru Apex Fusion when I am away.

A controller is a great investment. Reefkeepers are very inexpensive used and can do other things as well. Question for those in the hobby a long time. How reliable are these controllers long term? For example temp probe can go bad etc ... I have the heater itself set to a higher temp than the...

My Kole tang is a bully. At least in a 4ft tank. Now he's in another tank by himself. After I removed him other fish seems to be more relaxed and came out more.

Thanks guys. Looking at the options.

As title says want to add some protection to inside of cabinet, what paint do you use? This is a bathroom base laminated (cheaply) particle board. Thanks.

I bought three sets of the red ones to make it easier to move tanks around. You have to use it properly then it should be good for smaller tanks. I moved my 105g with it no problem.

So you can dial down the power without changing the flow pattern? 150 is wider I guess it will give a wider flow.

Anyone using this in a 120g or similar? Is it enough or 150 is better? Also do you use other pump with your gyre?
